Main-a-Dieu
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Blair Lahey ‘Brown Cow’, loving husband, father, son, and brother, on Monday, January 18, 2021 at the age of 53.
Born on March 29, 1967 to Iris (Phillips) and Philip Lahey. Blair grew up in Main-a-Dieu with a close-knit family and community of friends.
Blair loved his children to the moon and back and he was so proud of their accomplishments. He loved each of them dearly for their own unique and beautiful personalities. He was blessed to meet his soulmate, Alison, later in his life who he adored and cherished. Blair’s zest for life combined with Alison’s adventurous spirit led to many lasting memories.
Blair enjoyed stock car racing and going for long carefree rides on his Harley Davidson, where he felt most at peace. He excelled at lobster fishing and was most admired by his mom and faithful crewmate. Playing the guitar and jamming with his friends and family was also very special to him. Blair was always willing to lend a helping hand and share a good laugh with his friends. He had a huge heart and always wore it on his sleeve.
Blair had many skills and used them in various jobs throughout his life, such as heavy equipment operator, tractor trailer operator, and ice road trucking. No matter how far away his jobs took him, he was happiest when he returned home to the place and the people that he loved.
Left to mourn are his loving wife, Alison (Hillman); children, Taylor, Mason, and Kali; parents and brother, Eugene, who he loved, respected, and valued dearly; “Special Brothers”, Jimmy, Stewart, Tony and Frank; the Mira boys; mother-in-law, Marilyn Hillman; fur buddy, Sadie; as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins and in-laws.
Due to the COVID restrictions, the immediate family will have a private memorial service to celebrate the life of Blair Lahey at Pier Community Funeral Home, 1092 Victoria Rd. (entrance on Church St.), Whitney Pier on Monday, January 25, 2021 at 2 p.m. with Sheldon Chant officiating.
